I gotta admit, I like the Guren II the best. But the Glasgow and Gekka are neat also. I have a slight leaning towards the rank and file warriors of mech shows, rather than the aces. Most wars are fought with mass production units, so hence I favor GM's, Zaku's, and Mass Production Evas (even though they aren't really mechs).

Gawain has the very powerful Hadron Cannons, float system and the druid system (though I don't think Lelouch ever used it). I suppose the flaws with the Gawain lie in that there seem to be a limited number of shots for the Cannons, the fact that there is are no other weapons besides those and its fingers, and the fact that neither Lelouch or C.C. are the best of pilots.

Lancelot has power, speed, a good set of weapons, and it also has the ability to fly now. The problems are the power supply and the fact that Suzaku is probably the only one who can pilot it with any real results.

I don't know about C.C.'s actual piloting abilities, so, I can't agree if C.C. is not "one of the best of pilots" (as we see her easily take down Jeremiah in Siegfried on her own). A possible downside of Gawain seems to be it's overall large size - it couldn't keep up with Cornelia's mech when they were fighting in Eps. 24+25 despite it having "superior specs", as said by Lelouch. Doesn't seem to have the general ground speed most KMFs seem to sport.

Gawain isn't made for close combat. That was why it has the Hyrdro/Hydra? cannons. Think of Gawain as Legend from Gundam Seed Destiny: Sucky at close combat. While Cornelia's suit is made for close combat+small and annoying for a larger suit.

Though I have to say Gawain Kneeing Siegfried made me laugh XD

Plus Gawain is made mostly for GEASS Rune research so it's not all that special.

My vote went solidly to Gawain. It is perhaps one of the most originally designed mecha from Sunrise for quite a while. It possessed utter physical elegance and well balanced between its combat and communication capabilities. I do believe that the Druid system is in reality the powerful radar system that enables Lelouch to oversee the entire combat situation. The Hadron Canons are...for the lake of a better description...coolness off the chart. The two man pilot concept is quite original (for a mecha). Love the paint job!

Lancelot is nice and all...kinda bulky looking with the extra float system. I utterly failed to understand why can't Llyod install a backup power system into it if energy fillers are actually portable(then again, he forgot to install the emergency ejection seat...)! Its design reminded me so many of Sunrise's past mechas...especially its facial(head) appearance. The most original part about Lancelot is perhaps its name and stylish mobility. Perhaps the main reason why I am against voting for it is due to its pilot...

Guren Nishiki received my second vote. Its design is catchy and its pilot rates very high in my book. Its mobility is no less than Lancelot's and its arm is simply one of most interesting weapons I have ever seen in animation. Guren Nishiki's right arm kinda reminds me of Scar from FullMetal Alchemist...for obvious reasons. Nice!

I'm hoping the new knightmares that appear in season 2 are just as good if not better. I'm curious as to whether Lelouch will gain a new knightmare or if the Gawain will continue to be used by him. It seems to be a bit of a rule in mecha (or is it just gundam?) that the character get a new mech.

If the main characters do not get new knightmares, I hope the ones they currently use get upgrades at the very least. Lancelot getting upgrades is a bit of a given since Lloyd seems to be constanly working on new things for it.

The Guren I could see getting upgrades such as a float system or perhaps a redesigned claw, maybe even two of them. That might not be sensible as I can't really see what two would do. Some ranged weapons would at least be useful as that seems to be the Guren's lacking point.

For the Gawain (provided it either gets recovered from the ocean or a new one is built) some more weapons would certainly be useful. Then again, the Gawain is meant to be a commander unit as well as one for research, so it may not happen.

I like the Gawain for it's design (I love the design of the cockpit (double seating is also nice) is and it's also pretty cool how it's built into the mech unlike the others).
Also the Gawain is pretty much intended for the purpose of having a nice heavilly armored single armed fortress for commanding.
I hope it comes back in season two.

And the Gekko are awesome with speedy combat. But for basic stuff I would go with the Burai or Sutherland.

I think the Gawain that was being used in season 1 is pretty much gone, but they may make another one of some sort. I'd rather that Lelouch get a new Knightmare to command with myself, but if it were similar to the Gawain I don't think it would be a bad thing.

Most of the mass production units are quite good actually, though it always depends on the pilot I suppose. I've always been curious how Suzaku would have done with a regular Knightmare.

I think that Gawain is outdated, specially if you compare Gawain with Mordred. Mordred is equipped with 4 Hadron beams and missile pods (Is it confirmed?). It also has the same shield like Lancelot has.

It is to suspect that in one year gap the Britannian did advance theirs KMF-s, and that Gawain is, like I sad outdated. Of course if you compare Gawain with the new KMF-s that Knight's of the Round are having.
